The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joel Brown finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2026, in 1:04:06 for 39th of 1,581 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:50 quicker than the median and 47th of 1,581. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:42 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:23, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
